Carlos Giffoni
I Am Real

No Fun 02

LP
£12.99


Beautifully crude LP from the spark behind New York’s already-legendary No Fun Fest and collaborator with players like Dylan Nyoukis and Thurston Moore. Wild electronic churn cut with a glue of ginchy almost-melody that gives the whole thing the repetitive psychoactive edge of the faultiest minimalism. An all-night flight spent licking batteries and huffing lighter fluid. Second release on the newly-minted No Fun label, packaged primitive-punk style. Edition of 300, no re-press ever.

John Wiese
Tumbler

No Fun No Cat

LP
£12.99


"Total Head Crush Destruction from Mr Wiese (also of Sissy Spacek and LHD, works with Sunn 0)), etc,etc), if your head was made out of a boulder the sounds here enclosed are still designed to leave behind nothing but blood stain dust. Side A is the eternal acid rain that we all fear slowly melting your skin away and reminding of your insignificant humanity, Side B is a metallic behemoth continously punching you from all directions leaving you with just enough unbroken bones so that you can breath. Another No Fun Classic. Limited to 300 no re-press ever." - No Fun.

Pita
A Bas la Culture Marchande

No Fun #11

LP
£13.99


New album from Pita aka Mego founder Peter Rehberg that moves from junked percussion process through pulverising beats, barbed wire rhythms and great proto-symphonic drones assembled from extended, languorous rainbows of breath. B-side features some classic electro-squelch mirrored in long, silent hymns that are illuminated by nothing but digital scrabbles. "Pulsating inhuman sounds, minimal drone work, silence, harsh layered electronics and total death. Explorations into the infra-worlds with a few tool boxes and a fucking gigantic drill of destruction manned by a single man, Mr. Peter Rehberg-A sick man and 20th/21st century Pioneer of evil electronic music with all the secret formulas to create artificial breakdowns of space and time. Hail primal electronic darkness. First vinyl from Pita in several years. Limited to 300." - NF.

Deathroes
Final Expense

No Fun NFP-17

LP
£12.99


"Deathroes is Gerritt and Sixes. Total Auditory destruction by these west coast veterans debut collaboration LP. Dark psychedelic drone, walls of sounds, electronic impossibility. Tectonic plates shift and rain of lava annihilates ones own soul along with everyone else's. Enlightenment and new death-born feelings combined with hallucinations so sharp and vivid that they lead to the disintegration of all senses. Salvation, elation, Truth?-no, only the final expense! Split Release with Misanthropic Agenda. Limited to 500 copies."

Cline/Giffoni/Licht/Ranaldo
Nothing Makes Any Sense

No Fun NFP-28

CD
£8.99


“A constantly shifting and engaging long-form piece of developed drone, foreboding melody, and harsh grit, Nothing Makes Any Sense finds Lee Ranaldo (Sonic Youth), Nels Cline (Nels Cline Singers, Wilco), and Alan Licht pushing their guitars into a cacophonous state that bears much influence from the post-jazz fields they've all cut their teeth in, but also bearing down a forceful brutality that has sometimes eluded their past material. While Carlos Giffoni uses his analog Synth mastery to adequately contend and mesh seamlessly with the trio of strings, letting his analog noise pulsate and pierce with its own sense of contained stampede.” – NF.

Hive Mind
Cast Through Shallow Earth

No Fun NFP-19

LP
£12.99


“400 copies - synth music for the exploration of desolated lands, slow and detailed side long movements of pure tonal sound. after millions of years when everything has withered away and nothing survives what will remain in this earth? minerals, boiling lava, smoke, and corrosion in a shallow earth. screenprinted cover, white vinyl, released on No Fun Productions.” – NF.

Enema Syringe
Live At The No Fun Fest 2007

No Fun NFP-21

LP
£11.99


“Full No Fun Fest 2007 live set, recorded to the best possible quality. Totally insane and heavy set from Industrial/Noise Swedish Pioneers Enema Syringe. Sounds just as killer and demented as they did in 86! Limited to 350 copies.” – NFP.

Greg Kelley
Religious Electronics

No Fun NFP-33

LP
£12.99


Wild new solo album from Greg Kelley (Nmperign et al) of hypnotically rendered electronics that combine formal noise classicism (jump-cuts, huge peacocks of tone) with rigorous construction, minimalist intent and a primitive hands-on aspect that more than transcends the faceless noise outings of countless minor thinkers. Edition of 350 copies.

Carlos Giffoni/The Rita
Two On A Match

No Fun NFP-38

2xLP
£21.99


“The ongoing study and execution of harsh noise by driven artists constantly reinstates the medium via different techniques, concepts, and different artist amalgamations for a collaborative work. For myself, working with the different 'warbling' and generative moving lines of modular synth from Carlos Giffoni offered me a chance to investigate many different 'spaces' of tone and line manipulation. The examination and crossing of the different LINES slowly become their own parallel entity as the adjoined and wavy synth lines are further dirtied, cut repeatedly, and joined with the knife of 'gated' and cutting HN pedal work. To further manipulate and display the different lines and HN stylizations, Giffoni had the opportunity to heavily edit the textural work of The Rita to exude the constantly moving and jutting sense of Giffoni's own pulsing and driving synth decay via the dirtied analog source material of The Rita. Modular synth and pedal work have been long standing tools in the world of harsh noise, but not often are they crossed over with such investigative and crackling tendencies – a virtual criss-crossing of the different technical lines.” - Sam McKinlay/The Rita. Limited to 300 copies.

Zaimph
Death Blooming Pleasure

No Fun No Cat

LP
£14.99


“When spinning this dark velvet cloak a door opens to clouds of smoke shooting out the windows sills of the shell of old library like ink plumes while smokes leaps like black cats between the curtains. Stone and concrete crumble and fill the air with gray gas showering the maze of shrubs in the courtyard with a dark veil of soot. Marcia Bassett has tread the waters of noise psych drone and continues to defy the categories. A dark psychedelic guitar wash peaks its head out of the smoldering coals that could have been released on the mighty slaughter productions death industrial temple from Italy. Further morbidity croaks from the slicing vocals of a distraught entity being ripped from one dimension to the other... and rather enjoying her ordeal. Light the candles and burn the incense....Limited to 300 copies.” – NFP. Already sold out at source.

Astromero
Live In San Francisco

No Fun #41

LP
£15.99


“Astromero is the psychedelic synth / noise project of Japanese pioneer Hiroshi Hasegawa (Astro,CCCC), and LA's Damion Romero (Speculum Fight). Side A is a live show in San Francisco, a total scorcher with an immense level of energy where shifting walls of synthetic sound produced by Hasegawa are complemented by the signature rumbling low end frequencies coming from Damion's custom electronics. Side B is a new studio track, full of brain melting tones and showing the more compositional side of this sick ongoing collaboration. Limited to 350.” – NF.
